About Dr. Ghiz
Our Practice Philosophy
Our mission it to treat the whole individual! If there is a breakdown in oral health (covering the entire head and neck region) it is usually due to underlying disease or conditions that need to be identified and corrected. Then and only then can ones function and beauty be restored and enhanced.
Our practice is dedicated to enhancing your smile while addressing all other aspects of oral well-being that are form as well as function. We begin with a full and comprehensive exam of the entire masticatory system which is comprised of the oral cavity, its supporting structures, and the entire head and neck region. This is accomplished with the aid of both digital x-rays (a 90% reduction in radiation) and photography. After this initial diagnostic phase, a comprehensive treatment plan will be developed, reviewed, and discussed with you to address your cosmetic concerns as well as functional needs. In other words, we restore entire oral health, back teeth as well as front teeth. Remember beauty and function go hand in hand you can't have one without the other long-term.
Dr. Ghiz has an extensive background in headaches, facial and neck pain coupled with over two decades of diagnosing and treating snoring and potentially life-threatening sleep apnea. His experience, continuing education, and skill are dedicated to successfully diagnosing and treating a wide range of oral health conditions which ultimately enhances "quality of life".
